Former President Donald Trump announced the launch of the first edition of his silver medallion, which he claimed to have designed himself and was minted in the U.S.
What Happened: Trump revealed the details about the coins in an X post on Saturday, describing them as &#8220;true symbols of America&#8217;s greatness.&#8221; The Republican presidential hopeful tied the official coins with his &#8220;America First&#8221; policy.
The official website of the Trump Coins described them as a one-ounce 99.99% silver, featuring the former President's profile on the obverse and the White House with Trump&#8217;s signature on the reverse.

Interestingly, spot silver was priced at $30.65 per ounce as of this writing, less than one-third of what Trump marketed his official coins at.
The website added a disclaimer that the coins haven&#8217;t been manufactured or distributed by Trump or any of the organizations affiliated with him.

Why It Matters: In an effort to bolster his finances, Trump has turned to selling a variety of merchandise to his supporters.
Nearly a month ago, he launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40584660/donald-trump-unveils-new-nft-collection-featuring-debate-memorabilia-and-exclusive-perks">fourth edition of his non-fungible tokens (NFTs)</a>, priced at $99 each. Before that, the Republican l<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40076664/trump-launches-limited-edition-bitcoin-themed-sneakers-following-bitcoin-2024-keynote-repo">aunched a line of limited-edition</a> Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-themed sneakers. 
The latest announcement comes a week after Trump&#8217;s entry into the cryptocurrency market with the launch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know">World Liberty Financial (WLFI)</a>, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform centered around a cryptocurrency token.
But even as Trump ramped up efforts to raise funds for his election campaign, the odds were stacked against him. According to the decentralized prediction market Polymarket, Kamala Harris was the bettors&#8217; <a href="https://polymarket.com/">favorite </a>to win the elections with a 52% probability.

Trump Sold Bitcoin-Themed Sneakers And NFTs: Now He's Promoting A 'Self-Designed' Coin Featuring His Own Image

Vice President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40973752/kamala-harris-reportedly-set-to-unveil-new-economic-policies-in-pittsburgh-this-week-its-about-showi">Kamala Harris </a>was ahead of her Republican rival Donald Trump, going by the results of two separate polls published over the weekend.
The Matchups: Harris was ahead of Trump by five points in a one-on-one contest, with the tally at 49%-44%, a national NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-newly-popular-harris-challenging-trump-change-rcna171308">poll</a> conducted Sept. 13-17 with 1,000 registered voters showed. The survey&#8217;s margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. This marked a shift from the sentiment that prevailed when NBC News did its July polls. When President Joe Biden was still in the race, Trump was ahead by two points.
The results of the Harris vs. Trump matchup showed Black voters siding with the former by an 85%-7% tally. Harris received majority support among voters, aged 18-34 years (57%-34%) and voters with college degrees 59%-38%). Among independents, the vice president received a singularity of votes (43%-35%).
Trump&#8217;s support base is among men (52%-40%), white voters (52%-43%) and white voters without college degrees (61%-33%).
In a welcome development for Harris and the Democrats, support for the party reached its highest point in NBC News polling since mid-2023. At the same time, the share of voters saying they were undecided or wanted another choice dipped to its lowest point since that time.
A CBS/YouGov <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-poll-debate-economy-09-22-2024/">poll </a>conducted between Sept. 18-20&nbsp;showed Harris leading yet again, with the margin at 52%-48% among likely voters. About 3,129 registered voters nationwide&nbsp;were contacted for the purpose, with the margin of sampling error at plus, or minus 2.2 points.
In the CBS/YouGov poll, Harris was ahead in the battleground states with a slightly smaller margin. She received 51% support and Trump 49%.
Harris scores better among the subset who think the economy is good and/or their personal finances are good. Eighty-eight percent of those who said the economy is good backed her and 64% of those who said their personal finances are good supported her.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who did NBC News poll along with Democratic pollster said Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates said Trump&#8217;s eroding support was due to some Republicans, who are not his die-hard supporters, deserting him. But this could change, he said.
We have seen this movie before. They can get squishy on Trump, and then in the end they come back and they vote the way they're going to vote on a Republican-versus-Democrat preference for Congress,&#8221; said McInturff.
CBS/YouGov poll found that people who prioritize the personal qualities of a candidate are voting&nbsp;for Harris (66%-33%) and those who say policies are very important are evenly split between them.&nbsp;
Multi-Candidate Fray: When the ballot included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party&#8217;s Jill Stein and Libertarian Chase Oliver, Harris had a bigger lead, 47% of the registered voters favored her and 41% Trump, while the other candidates managed 2% or less each, according to NBC News poll.

Harris Surges, Trump Sedate: NBC News poll showed that Harris&#8217; popularity has improved notably since July when she had a net negative rating of 18, courtesy of 32% of voters holding positive opinions about her and 50% seeing her in a negative light. In the September poll, her favorability improved to a net positive 3 points, with 48% and 45%, respectively, rating her positively and negatively.
No major-party presidential candidate in the 35-year history of the NBC News poll has seen this kind of jump in popularity in an election, the pollster said.
Trump&#8217;s net rating was essentially unchanged from July at a net negative 13 points.
Economy &#8211; The Achilles&#8217; Heel: Harris has her fair share of pitfalls. In the CBS News/YouGov survey, among likely voters who mentioned the economy is a major concern, she trailed by a 47%-53% margin. That said, it has been an improvement from the tally in August when she trailed by a 43%-56% margin. 
The proportion of the registered voters who said the economy is good improved from 35% in August to 39% currently and the proportion who said the economy is bad fell from 62% to 59%.
The NBC News poll found that two-thirds of voters said their family income is falling behind the cost of living, and voters mentioned the cost of living as their top concern, handing Trump the advantage on the economy and inflation. The former president&#8217;s advantage, however, reduced relative to what it was when he was pitched against Biden in July.
 The Consumer price inflation has been on a sustainable downward trajectory so much that it allowed the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h"> Federal Reserve to drop the Fed funds rate by 50 basis points </a>last week. With interest rates receding from their highs, consumers, who fuel much of the economic growth, can now heave a sigh of relief.

Stifel foresees a significant market downturn by the end of 2024. Chief equity strategist Barry Bannister <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40701071/market-bull-warns-of-up-to-10-september-pullback-urges-caution-but-stresses-be-read">warned the S&amp;P 500 could fall by 12% in the fourth quarter</a>.
What Happened: Bannister highlighted various concerns, including high valuations and speculative investor behavior. &#8220;Our instruments tell us to expect an S&amp;P 500 correction to the very low 5,000s by 4Q24,&#8221; he stated, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-warns-correction-soon-tech-bubble-risk-2024-9">reported</a> Business Insider.
He noted that current stock market valuations are nearing a &#8220;near three-generation high&#8221; with the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s price-to-earnings multiple around 24x. Additionally, the outperformance of large-cap growth stocks relative to value stocks is reminiscent of peaks seen in February 2000 and August 2020, which preceded bear markets.
Bannister also pointed out that rising labor supply from increased immigration has bolstered economic growth, but overall labor demand is waning. &#8220;Fading labor demand is now symbolic of recession risk,&#8221; he said, mentioning that the non-farm payroll 6-month diffusion index has dipped below a &#8220;recession trigger level.&#8221;
He further explained that the typical &#8220;pre-election juice&#8221; for the economy might diminish towards year-end, impacting stock performance. Lastly, Bannister warned of a potential bubble in technology stocks, comparing it to the dot-com bubble of the 1990s.

Why It Matters: The warning from Stifel comes on the heels of several significant market events. 
Additionally, in early September, equity strategist Tom Lee warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40701071/market-bull-warns-of-up-to-10-september-pullback-urges-caution-but-stresses-be-read">potential 7%-10% market pullback</a>, attributing this to historical trends showing September as the weakest month for stocks. Lee urged caution but also advised investors to be ready to &#8220;buy that dip.&#8221; 
More recently, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates by 0.5% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969943/fed-rate-cut-fuels-market-rally-amidst-valuation-fears">triggered a market rally</a>, despite concerns over inflated valuations. This move led to a significant surge in U.S. stocks and commodities, while reducing bond market volatility.
The rate cut also influenced investor behavior, with a shift away from money market funds and into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40965570/fed-rate-cut-may-drive-investors-away-from-money-markets-says-portfolio-manager">longer-duration bonds</a>, as noted by fixed-income portfolio manager Timothy Ng.

Stifel Warns Of 12% Market Drop By End Of 2024 As S&P 500 Faces High Valuations And Speculative Risks

Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40680904/7-products-apple-will-likely-discontinue-next-week-after-iphone-16-launch">has discontinued</a>&nbsp;the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone&nbsp;15 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 models, along with other products,&nbsp;as part of its annual&nbsp;product streamlining.
What Happened: Apple has stopped production of several products, but these models can still be found in stock at online and third-party retail stores for a limited time.
Apple&#8217;s annual product discontinuation is a routine practice, making way for newer items. This year,&nbsp;the oldest iPhone still in&nbsp;production, the iPhone 13, was also dropped, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/09/22/in-with-the-new-out-with-the-old-apple-discontinues-the-iphone-15-pro-iphone-13">reported</a> AppleInsider.

The current iPhone lineup now includes the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 and&nbsp;iPhone 15 Plus, the four <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40780100/apple-intelligence-ready-iphone-16-with-faster-processor-dedicated-camera-button-announced-check-pri">new&nbsp;iPhone 16 models</a>, and the&nbsp;third-generation iPhone SE from 2022.
Other discontinued products include the AirPods Max, replaced by nearly identical models with new colors and a USB-C port.
The regular AirPods&nbsp;2 and AirPods 3 have&nbsp;also been replaced with two&nbsp;new models of AirPods 4.&nbsp;After the introduction of&nbsp;the Apple Watch Series 10,&nbsp;the Apple Watch Series 9 was also discontinued.
Apple&nbsp;also dropped its line of FineWoven iPhone cases due to negative customer feedback, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The discontinuation of these models comes amid mixed reports about the demand for the new iPhone 16.&nbsp;T-Mobile US Inc. CEO Mike Sievert&nbsp;said that the iPhone 16 is selling at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40932937/apple-iphone-16-selling-at-a-greater-rate-than-last-year-says-t-mobile-ceo-amid-reports-of-lower">greater rate than last year&#8217;s model</a>.
However,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/09/40930388/apple-iphone-16-pre-orders-show-possible-low-demand-one-sign-could-point-to-company-breaking-this-em">analysts predicted weak demand</a>&nbsp;for the iPhone 16 due to a lack of reasons for existing iPhone owners to upgrade to the latest model.
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee&nbsp;has noted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40882969/iphone-16-pro-demand-lags-longer-wait-times-globally-china-shows-smaller-gap-analyst">lead times of the iPhone 16 series</a> across critical markets, including the U.S., China, Germany, and the U.K., indicate in-line demand for the iPhone 15 series during the first week.
Previously, it was reported that the iPhone 16 series launch also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785959/iphone-16-fails-to-sway-some-chinese-buyers-im-going-to-buy-huaweis-tri-fold-phone-missing-ai-featur">failed to impress some Chinese buyers</a> due to its lack of AI features.

China&#8217;s central bank has taken significant steps to support the economy by reducing a key short-term interest rate and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40951221/bank-of-japan-leaves-interest-rate-at-0-25-diverging-from-feds-50-basis-point-cut">injecting substantial liquidity into the financial system</a>.
What Happened: The People's Bank of China cut the 14-day reverse repurchase interest rate by 10 basis points to 1.85% and injected 74.5 billion yuan ($10.6 billion) of liquidity via this policy tool, according to its website.
Additionally, the central bank injected 160.1 billion yuan (&nbsp;$10.6 billion) through 7-day reverse repo agreements, maintaining the interest rate at 1.7%, the bank stated on Monday.
Last week, the PBOC unexpectedly kept its benchmark lending rates steady, despite rising expectations for easing following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut.

On Friday, a portfolio manager noted that the Federal Reserve's rate cut could drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/09/40965570/fed-rate-cut-may-drive-investors-away-from-money-markets-says-portfolio-manager">investors away from money market</a> funds and into longer duration bonds.
Additionally, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle W. Bowman defended her decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40965082/feds-historic-dissenter-bowman-says-smaller-interest-rate-cut-was-justified-we-have-no">support a smaller 25-basis-point rate cut</a>, citing ongoing inflation concerns. This marked a historic moment as it was the first time since 2005 that a Fed governor openly disagreed with a rate decision.

Saba Capital Income &amp; Opportunities Fund II (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SABA#NYSE">SABA</a>) (the "Fund"), a registered closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, today announced that its Board of Trustees has renewed its share repurchase authorization for the Fund to repurchase up to 10% of its total common shares for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025.
The share repurchase program is intended to increase the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to the benefit of all shareholders and help create further value for shareholders by reducing the Fund's discount to NAV.
The Fund may repurchase shares through open market transactions, at the discretion of the Fund's investment adviser. In exercising its discretion consistent with its portfolio management responsibilities, the investment adviser will take into account various factors, including, but not limited to, timing, the quantity of repurchases, the level of the discount, the Fund's performance, portfolio holdings, dividend history and objectives, market conditions, cash on hand, the availability of other attractive investments, and whether the sale of certain portfolio securities would be undesirable because of liquidity concerns or because the sale might subject the Fund to adverse tax consequences. Any repurchases would be made on a national securities exchange at the prevailing market price, subject to exchange requirements, federal securities laws and rules that restrict repurchases.
There is no assurance that the market price of the Fund's shares, either absolutely or relative to net asset value, will increase as a result of any share repurchases, or that the program will enhance shareholder value. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors should consider the investment objective, risks and expenses carefully.

Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today presented data informing clinical strategies for switching patients to UZEDY&#xAE;, an extended-release injectable suspension of risperidone for subcutaneous use every one or two months for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults, from a once-monthly subcutaneous injection of Perseris&#xAE; (RBP-7000). The results were presented during the 37th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress taking place between September 21-24, 2024, in Milan, Italy.
Schizophrenia is a complex medical condition that may require switching from an oral option or between different long-acting injectable options during the patient treatment journey. These data further clinical understanding of optimal treatment strategies when switching to UZEDY from Perseris&#xAE;.
"Schizophrenia patients and healthcare providers rely on evidence-based studies that can help inform their treatment decisions. That is why Teva is dedicated to building on our commitment to neuroscience and schizophrenia and helps provide these clinical insights on UZEDY switching strategies, along with its role in long-acting treatment options," said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of Global R&amp;D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "Up to 80% of schizophrenia patients experience multiple relapses in the first five years, making switching treatments a common experience in the search for optimal treatment. With UZEDY, Teva is building a robust portfolio of research that can help determine if and when it may be the right long-acting option."
In a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis, simulations were conducted to predict pharmacokinetic (PK) exposures when switching to UZEDY 4-6 weeks after the last injection of once-monthly RBP-7000. The simulation models indicated that switching to UZEDY 4 weeks after the last dose of once-monthly RBP-7000 resulted in comparable PK properties of UZEDY at both the initial exposure and steady state. Comparable doses included UZEDY at 100 mg (once-monthly dosing) or 200 mg (once-every-two-months dosing) to 120 mg of once-monthly RBP-7000.1
Any switching strategy should be determined by clinicians on an individual patient basis, considering factors such as patient preference, scheduling convenience and potential tolerability issues or risk of symptom breakthrough.
"Every person living with schizophrenia has unique treatment needs and preferences that may also evolve over time. For my patients, I encourage discussion around key factors like treatment adherence, dosing frequency, symptom control, and rate of relapse which inform what treatment option may be the most appropriate," said Christoph Correll, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine, Hempstead, NY. "For healthcare providers, there is also a significant knowledge gap in the available clinical data on switching patients between the various LAI treatment options, which have differing pharmacokinetic properties and dosing considerations. Insights from studies like these are crucial for researchers and clinicians like myself, as they help us become more informed and better serve our patients."
Additional key data being presented at ECNP 2024 included new quantitative results from the ADVANCE (Attitudes Driving Regional Differences in LAI Antipsychotic Utilization for Schizophrenia Among HCPs, Patients and Caregivers) surveys, including:
<ul>
<li>Among 447 people living with schizophrenia and 375 caregivers, most common patient-reported reasons for accepting an LAI (n=331) were improvement of symptoms/condition with LAIs (68%, n=224), recommendation by their HCP (65%, n=214) and ease of using LAIs versus oral antipsychotics (57%, n=189).1</li>
<li>Patients also reported using LAIs due to fewer side effects versus oral antipsychotics (38%, n=127) and to help prevent hospitalization (20%, n=67).1</li>
<li>Caregivers (n=229) reported that patients accepted LAIs based on ease of use versus oral antipsychotics (78%, n=178), to help prevent hospitalization (62%, n=143) and perception that LAIs would work better for improving condition/symptoms (62%, n=143).1</li>
<li>Among a sample of 791 HCPs from 8 different countries, most HCPs reported that the primary reason for recommending an LAI to a patient was nonadherence to oral medication, with the exception of South Korea where the most common reason was that an LAI would be more efficacious than oral.1</li>
<li>The primary reasons cited for not recommending an LAI were patient clinical characteristics and the lack of an available LAI formulation of the patient's current oral treatment, except for China and South Korea, where the primary reasons were LAI cost to patient and LAI product not marketed, respectively.</li>
</ul>

TEVA

Reported Saturday, Teva Unveils Data on UZEDY Injection Switching Strategy for Schizophrenia Treatment at ECNP

Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced new positive efficacy, safety and tolerability results for Phase 3 Subcutaneous Olanzapine Extended-Release Injection Study (SOLARIS) trial evaluating TEV-‘749 in adult patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. In the study, TEV-‘749 met the primary endpoint, demonstrating significant improvements in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)&nbsp;total score from baseline to week 8, as well as key secondary endpoints with improvements in both the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale and the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale score, compared to placebo at week 8. Additionally, SOLARIS (Period 1) and Phase 1 safety results demonstrated no incidence of post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS) in participants taking TEV-‘749 to date.1 The overall safety profile was consistent with other oral acting olanzapine options. These data were presented during the 37th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress taking place between September 21-24, 2024, in Milan, Italy.
Schizophrenia is a complex medical condition that may require switching from oral options or between different long-acting injectable (LAI) options during the patient treatment journey. These data demonstrate the potential role of TEV-‘749 as an LAI treatment option for schizophrenia patients taking daily oral olanzapine or other antipsychotic medications. Currently, the only long-acting olanzapine treatment option for schizophrenia carries a risk for PDSS, the sudden and unexpected onset of delirium or sedation when medication is released too quickly into the blood after receiving an intramuscular injection of long-acting olanzapine.1
"Teva is dedicated to building on its commitment to neuroscience by developing new long-acting injectable treatment options like TEV-‘749 that may help address unmet needs in schizophrenia for patients and healthcare providers," said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of Global R&amp;D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "PDSS is a major barrier to the utilization of intramuscular olanzapine LAIs that exists today, and our SOLARIS findings fuel the continued development of TEV-‘749."
With nearly 30 years of clinical and real-world use, olanzapine is one of the most commonly prescribed 2nd generation oral antipsychotics for schizophrenia around the world. Its efficacy and safety profiles are well established.
"Developing a long-acting olanzapine formulation that poses potentially no risk of PDSS is crucial in preventing these dangerous episodes that otherwise limit the use of olanzapine to daily oral options," said Christoph Correll, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine, Hempstead, NY. "With no PDSS observed in the SOLARIS trial to date, these data add to the growing body of evidence that TEV-‘749 may one day serve as an important treatment option for patients and healthcare providers who rely on olanzapine and also have needs or preferences that require a long-acting option."
Period 1 of the SOLARIS study is an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients aged 18-64 years diagnosed with schizophrenia, followed by an open-label safety period of up to 48 weeks (Period 2). Efficacy results from Period 1 of the SOLARIS study show that by week 8:
<ul>
<li>TEV-‘749 met its primary endpoint across all three dosing groups, with statistically significant mean differences in the change in PANSS total scores from baseline to week 8 of -9.71 points, -11.25 points, and -9.69 points versus placebo for the high (531 mg, corresponding to 20 mg/day of oral olanzapine), medium (425 mg, corresponding to 15 mg/day of oral olanzapine), and low (318 mg, corresponding to 10 mg/day of oral olanzapine) dose groups, respectively (all P&lt;0.0001).1</li>
<li>TEV-‘749 treatment significantly improved CGI-S scale scores across all three dosing groups, with reductions of -0.47 points (high), -0.61 points (medium), and -0.53 points (low) versus placebo from baseline to week 8 (all P&lt;0.0001).1</li>
<li>TEV-‘749 treatment significantly improved PSP scale scores across all three dosing groups, with increases of 4.93 points (high), 3.15 points (medium), and 4.63 points (low) versus placebo from baseline to week 8 (all P&lt;0.02).1 &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The systemic safety profile of TEV-‘749 was consistent with other approved formulations of olanzapine, with no new safety signals identified. Additional safety and tolerability results from Period 1 (917 active injections) through week 8 of the SOLARIS study show that:
<ul>
<li>There were no reported cases of PDSS.1</li>
<li>Treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred more often in patients receiving TEV-‘749 versus placebo included weight increase (35% [173/500] versus 8% [13/167]), injection site induration (13% [64/500] versus 2% [4/167]), injection site pain (10% [50/500] versus 4% [7/167]) and injection site erythema (10% [48/500] versus 1% [1/167]).1</li>
<li>Serious adverse events and discontinuations due to adverse events were reported in 1% (7/500) and 3% (16/500) of patients treated with TEV-‘749, respectively, and in 2% (3/167) and 3% (5/167) of patients treated with placebo, respectively.1 &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Also presented at ECNP 2024, results from the Phase 1 study of TEV-'749 show similar safety and tolerability results, including no reports of PDSS events. Additionally, a presented pre-clinical study suggests that the subcutaneous route of administration and formulation characteristics of TEV-'749 appear to greatly reduce the hypothesized risk of PDSS occurrence for patients receiving the treatment.
The long-term safety of TEV-‘749 and incidence of PDSS are also being evaluated in the SOLARIS open-label study (Period 2), with safety data topline readout expected in the first half of 2025.
TEV-‘749 utilizes SteadyTeq&#x2122;, a copolymer technology proprietary to Medincell that provides a controlled steady release of olanzapine.
TEV-‘749 is an investigational once-monthly subcutaneous LAI of the 2nd generation antipsychotic olanzapine and is not approved by any regulatory authority for any use, and its safety and efficacy are not established.

In keeping with this year's theme, it's time to accelerate progress. With a growing portfolio of over 9 Gigawatts of clean energy installed, and with America's first large-scale offshore wind farm currently under construction, we aren't just promising a greener future, we are building it today. Along the way, we are making record investments in our networks to help our millions of power customers weather the next extreme event fueled by climate change. The demand for safe, clean, affordable electricity to power our homes and businesses will keep growing.

While the first day of fall was ushered in across the Gulf Coast region at 7:43&nbsp;a.m. central time Sunday, there are still several more weeks remaining in the 2024 hurricane season. That is why CenterPoint Energy has been closely monitoring weather forecasts in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend and following its standard preparedness protocols. Greater clarity on the weather situation is expected from the National Hurricane Center in the coming days, but CenterPoint and its frontline electric and gas crews remain ready.

In preparation for potential severe weather across the Gulf Coast, CenterPoint will continue to monitor and prepare as the situation evolves. In the event it is needed, the company will begin the process of securing work sites, preparing crews and equipment, and securing additional frontline resources from mutual assistance companies, as necessary. And while autumn days may be on everyone's minds, the company wants to remind customers and the public to develop an emergency plan and assemble or restock a <a href="https://youtu.be/oshsLHzUEOg">storm preparedness kit</a> that includes essential items such as nonperishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, any necessary medications, a battery-powered radio, and a portable charger for mobile devices.&nbsp;
"It's important to be mindful of the weather and plan ahead," said Darin Carroll, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. "Although schools are back in class and football games highlight our weekends, we have to keep an eye on the Gulf and be prepared to act quickly, if necessary. We want our customers and communities to know that we are constantly monitoring the weather and refining and updating our preparations and plans."
Carroll added, "Since Hurricane Beryl we've made significant improvements to our electric system as part of the Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative. We believe our actions since Beryl will help improve the resiliency and reliability of the electric grid and better meet our customers' expectations."
Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative
Across Greater Houston, CenterPoint is taking action now to improve resiliency and help reduce the risk of outages this hurricane season.&nbsp;
As part of the first phase of its Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative, throughout August CenterPoint crews and contractors installed more than 1,100 stronger and more resilient fiberglass poles, trimmed vegetation along more than 2,000 miles of power lines and installed more than 300 automation devices in neighborhoods all over Houston. The company's next step is taking the boldest series of resiliency actions in its nearly 160-year history, including additional system hardening, strategic undergrounding, self-healing grid technology, and further enhancements to its outage tracker.
Call to Action: Power Alert Service

Customers with Critical Needs
Because CenterPoint Energy cannot guarantee an uninterrupted, regular or continuous power supply during a severe weather event, customers who depend on electricity for life-sustaining equipment are encouraged to make alternate arrangements for on-site backup capabilities or other alternatives in the event of loss of electric service.&nbsp;
During pre-storm preparations and post-storm recovery efforts, CenterPoint urges customers to stay informed of weather conditions and warnings or advisories issued by local authorities by paying close attention to announcements from local news outlets for important information regarding ongoing conditions and recovery efforts. The company also recommends that customers follow these important natural gas and electric safety tips:&nbsp;
